The Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD42b antibody (Clone HIP1) (ABIN94113) specifically detects CD42b in FACS and IHC (fro).
The antibody is reactive with Human and Non-Human Primate samples.
The antibody HIP1 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD42b (GPIb alpha), a 135-145 kDa membrane glycoprotein expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. CD42b and CD42c (GPIb beta) are composed in a disulfide linked heterodimer (CD42b/c, 160 kDa), CD42b/c forms a noncovalent complex with CD42a and CD42d.

Glycoprotein Ib platelet subunit alpha,CD42b (GPIb alpha) composes together with GPIb beta, GPIX and GPV the GPIb-IX-V receptor complex critical in the process of platelet-rich thrombus formation by tethering the platelet to a thrombogenic surface. CD42b binds to von Willebrand factor (VWF) exposed at a site of vascular injury, as well as to thrombin, coagulation factors XI and XII, high molecular weight kininogen, TSP-1, integrin Mac-1 and P-selectin. The extracellular domain of CD42b by its interactions also contributes to metastasis.,BSS, GP1B, VWDP, CD42B, GPIbA, BDPLT1, BDPLT3, DBPLT3
